Your focus on the fact that the amended motion contains no commitment to sever institutional ties with Israel is a necessary demand for balance.
I am writing on behalf of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East [CJPME], to thank you for your article, “Montreal city council passes amended motion in solidarity with Palestine”, published Aug 27, 2026 by Samuel Kayll.
It is critical that instances of imbalance, regarding any political issue, be brought to the attention of the public. Your focus on the fact that the amended motion contains no commitment to sever institutional ties with Israel is a necessary demand for balance.
We support the position of Students for Palestine's Honour and Resistance (SPHR) Concordia, which as you published, accuses Montreal City council of “giving in to foreign political pressure and eliminating all substantial calls to cut institutional relations with the Israeli government”. Please continue with your balanced media coverage which highlights both sides of significant issues relating to the Middle East conflicts.
